About Kerri

Kerri Wenner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on men's wellbeing alongside a broad range of life challenges. She offers straightforward, practical help for stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, depression, and issues like addiction, parenting strain, and career pressures. Sessions aim to help people feel steadier and more able to handle day-to-day demands.

With 12 years of experience, Kerri blends established therapy methods to match each person's needs. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and Mindfulness to reduce reactivity. The Gottman Method informs her work with relationship concerns and communication problems.

Kerri frames therapy as a collaborative process. She listens to what matters most and works with clients to set realistic goals. Sessions balance skill-building, problem solving, and time to understand painful experiences so people can move forward.

Her background includes supporting people through grief, trauma and abuse, compulsive behaviors, and chronic health challenges. She also addresses issues such as ADHD, intimacy worries, and career transitions. This range lets her adapt strategies to the situation at hand.

People who choose Kerri can expect practical tools and steady guidance. She aims to help clients develop clearer choices and better coping habits. The focus is on measurable steps that fit into everyday life rather than abstract theory.

How her approaches translate to online work

Kerri commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and anger. Mindfulness teaches attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress and sleep.

She also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship concerns. That method centers on improving communication, reducing negative interaction patterns, and rebuilding trust through concrete exercises and conversations that partners can practice between sessions.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. Kerri will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. If something isn't working, she adjusts the plan so clients can make steady progress.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break or sessions without needing to commute. It also allows people to practice skills in their normal routines and bring real-life situations into therapy for discussion.
